The CBT is the first day of your motorcycle training and is aimed at the novice rider. You will be under supervision at all times by a fully qualified instructor. You will be taught how to ride the motorcycle and manouvre the bike through a series of cones placed on the training area.

You will be taught "Slow Control", this is where you are expected to manouvre the bike in a figure of 8, this procedure will also be used in U-turns and will be found useful on the road where there is high traffic congestion.

 

You will be taught how to perform an emergency stop and the correct way of braking the bike in all weather conditions. Our instructors are professional & very friendly, they will put you at ease and they are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the course or concerns about purchasing a motorcycle.

 

They will explain about the protective clothing to wear and what helmets are best to buy, legal requirements and safety checks that must be performed on your bike. After a thorough pre-riding briefing, the CBT course concludes with a supervised road ride where the instructor is in full radio contact with the riders.

Feel relaxed and chat with your fellow students throughout the course and plan that day trip down the coast on your new bike.

Helmets, gloves and waterproofs can be supplied if you wish at no extra cost.

At the end of your course you will be issued with a DL196 (CBT) Certificate which is valid for two years. **Further training is recomended**

Please note : Newly qualified cars drivers (i.e. passed their test test after 1st February, 2001) must complete a CBT before using the full moped entitlement granted with car licence. In this case ONLY, the CBT is valid for the life of the licence, but only for mopeds. If the CBT is used to validate the provisional motorcycle entitlement of a full car licence, it must be re-taken every 2 years unless both tests have been passed.
